Waynesvllls special, !5th. . Last night 'some one entered tha residence of Capt. J. H. Payne by raising the cook-room window. The burglary was not discovered until af ter Mrs. Payne had made the tire In her cook stove. She then saw that the window was propped up on a stick. As ehe missed nothing, the thought the barking of Jog fright ened him awsiy. About 4 o'clock this morning a negro made an attempt to enter the residence of Charlie Lee. He had succeeded la removing a Wrean from the window of the room, occupied by two of AJr. Lee's daughters, aed 10 and 15 years. They saw tha negro tryina- to ycet In the window. They screamed that there was a negro In their room. Tha brute then ran. Mr. Iee quickly responded to the screams of hla daughters, but the negro was quick In making his escape. Mr. Lee then, with his son and a neigh bor, and lantern, tracked the negro to Canton, twelve miles distant. The party had 'phoned to the officers of Canton, giving a description of the nerfro. so when he arrived at Can ton the officers took him In tow.

Indianapolis Star. ; Is there anything that a man more needs In -this new-found world of Lord Bacon snd Herbert Spencer and Ernest Haeckel than tha assurance that nature, as Meredith puts it. "leads us to God's footstool T" Are we grop ing more eagerly and sometimes de sparingly for anything than for the .hope and trust that If evolution is rue, faith and God and heaven are also true? This Is what Meredith be lieves snd depicts and sings. He does sot shrink from Darwinism; l.e rather clasps It to his heart as the divinely ordained demonstration of the spiritual tradition and spiritual life. There Is more hope for humanity In this brave and clear-eyed reading of earth than In all the theology of timid souls that ff-ar the light of science will discover their flimsy faith as a thing of shams.
